FA-18A Missing drop tank

Recommended Posts

I've been playing around with the FA-18A by USAFTML, and I noticed I can't add a drop tank in single missions. I checked the loadout.ini and the data.ini and is does have Tank300_F18 in there.

 

I then extracted and checked WOE Weapondata.ini and couldn't find the tanks there, although I couldn't find the F16Ctank and F16Wtank, but they work so go figure.

 

I saw the knowledge base how to add, but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

 

Also, if I do have to add to weapondata.ini, how do I know what dimensions, mass etc to make the Tank300_F18?

The tank info is in the download package. Its called FA-18_WEAPONDATA and its in the objects/weapons folder of the download package. Here is the info below. Use that Knowledge Base link again on adding weapons and you should be set.

Thanks. I think I figured it out. Didn't have the most uptodate weapons pack.
